I do find that most servers will give me better service if I smile and speak a few words of Cantonese. Once during dim sum there appeared to be a run on steamed char siu bao (my kids' favorite) and the carts would quickly run out of them even before they reached our section. I started telling a very busy server in Cantonese how disappointed my kids were not to have char siu bao. She left her cart by us, headed into the kitchen and came back with three orders and big smile for us. Thank goodness my Cantonese is good for something! :)Jensterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390944490265195300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-53059251029000545682009-10-06T12:02:28.780-07:002009-10-06T12:02:28.780-07:00that sounds like such a lovely feast with your fam...that sounds like such a lovely feast with your family and mom! especially cool to have native speakers who can order the good stuff...foodhoehttp://foodhoe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-61842736003477337692009-10-05T22:52:14.694-07:002009-10-05T22:52:14.694-07:00Every so often, I get a craving for Chinese pickle...Every so often, I get a craving for Chinese pickled pig's feet. I especially love the eggs boiled in the vinegar.<br /><br />Haven't been to HK Flower Lounge for dim sum, but I felt the quality of the food there was pretty good. Here in Kuching, there is no good dim sum. If we were back in San Jose, though, we'd probably just hit Mayflower in Milpitas.Nate @ House of Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999631992214200998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-44104574633752644762009-10-05T03:59:49.927-07:002009-10-05T03:59:49.927-07:00All the dishes look very nice.
